About

In her second book, Alexandra Oliver takes us on a journey of escape from the suburbs of Canada to Glasgow, Scotland. Training her eye on the locals-on the streets, by rivers, in museums, on playgrounds, in their own homes, in the ill-starred town of Lockerbie-Oliver reflects on issues of exile, memory and identity, while traveling back into her own past.

"An incredible feat of vision and voice . . . technically, nothing is out of Oliver's grasp. Her go-to iambic pentameter can swallow anything in its path."
The National Post
"One of the most exciting things about her work is the way she takes a different route from the in-your-face newness and hybridity our market now demands."
